Because of unexpected situations, I need to cancel reservations not postpone. We had to go forth with the trip but had to leave earlier than first planned.

Hotel in Santorini was nowhere near anything and breakfast was terrible. Other people with GV had great locations. I guess we good the short end of the stick . We arrived very late in Crete and ended up only having one full day there. Would have better to have a hotel near the airport for our last night.

The ability to stay at different B&B each night as we travel across Ireland and Scotland was wonderful. Now staying and traveling in Scotland can cost over the initial sale price due to most accommodation cost more than the allowance provided and the rental car insurance cannot be purchased in advance. Car insurance and a hold on you credit card will cost several hundred dollars on the spot at Enterprise Car Rental. The Vacation was a success but with vehicle upgrade, B&Bs that were available, car insurance, and hold on credit card all was $2000 extra. It was a great experience and i would do it again.
